[Verse 1]
I heard you found somebody new
And you think I'm missing you
But I've already seen that side
I know what's hiding behind your eyes
I've stood where he's standing now
Believed every promise somehow
Thought you were gold, thought you were true
Till I saw the real you
[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, I loved you once
I won't lie
But now I see
The reason why
[Chorus]
I loved you once
But now I don't know why
(Don't know why)
I saw forever in your eyes
Now all I see are lies
(All your lies)
I held on way too long
Trying to keep us alive
I loved you once
But now I don't know why
(Ooh-oh-oh)
I was blind
(Ooh-oh-oh)
Blind the whole damn time
[Verse 2]
He's hearing all the words you say
The same old lines that made me stay
He's seeing all the things I saw
Before it all began to fall
Maybe he believes it's real
Maybe he believes the way I did
But every mask you wear will break
And every promise starts to fade
[Pre-Chorus]
One day he'll see
What I couldn't find
The truth was there
The whole damn time
[Chorus]
I loved you once
But now I don't know why
(Don't know why)
I saw forever in your eyes
Now all I see are lies
(All your lies)
I held on way too long
Trying to keep us alive
I loved you once
But now I don't know why
[Bridge]
You took my trust
You took my light
Left me alone
To win that fight
Now the smoke is clearing
Now I'm seeing right
[Final Chorus]
I loved you once
But now I know why
(Now I know why)
I fell in love with your disguise
Not the person behind
(Behind those eyes)
I held on way too long
Trying to keep us alive
I loved you once
But never again this time
(Ooh-oh-oh)
Never again this time
